Hello,
I don't know if it is Ok to post my question in this group because it's not
a Microsoft related thing, but it's the only place where I received good
solutions for my problems.
If someone knows a group more related to my questions please tell me.
My details:
I have a router Cisco 677 and my telephone company is Telecom Argentina.
The company protocol for connection is PPPoE.
I have a home network with 3 PC's (Will call them A, B and, C), all of them
connected to a hub together with the router.
From any of them I can "Dial" and establish connection, but only one of them
can establish connection at a time. That's why in one of them (with Win2K
Pro) I have Windows Connection Sharing Enabled (computer A). If I turn on A,
I have Internet on all the machines, but if I turn on B or C, and "Dial",
only the one who "dialed" will have internet because they are not sharing
the connection and I cannot establish connection on more than 1 machine at
the same time.
So, if I want to have internet on all of them I have to turn on A,
disconnect the one witch is connected and the "dial" on A.
It's sounds a little messy, doesn't it?
What I want to do:
I know my router can do what connection sharing does (computer A, being DHCP
server) so I can get rid of connection sharing on A machine and any computer
will be connected at any time.
What I have done up to the moment:
My router is set to bridging by the company default. If I want to activate
the DHCP server on the router, it tells me that the bridging needs to be
disabled first.
If I disable the bridging, then I cannot "Dial" anymore from the PC's. But
the router has the auto login feature (with username and password), so that
he would do all the work and bridging wouldn't be necessary.
But when the DHCP server is enabled, the NAT correctly configured and
everything is working fine (by everything I mean that the PC's renew their
IP's and Gateway fine with the Router Address) the router doesn't connect
for itself to the Internet. I really don't know exactly why. For what I had
read it's because the router it's compatible with PPPoA (PPP over ATM) and
my telephone company works with PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet).
I want to know if someone has done what I want to do with my router. There
must be another method for connection!
If someone has the configurations or parameters I need, please send it to
me.
I'm all ears for recommendations.
Thanks in anticipate and sorry for my poor English.
Byes.
